Core Data is a great framework, but it also requires you to write a hefty amount of boilerplate code for even the simplest of projects. RWPCoreData aims to solve some of the headaches associated with using Core Data in new projects through a few core features:
- The ability to instantiate managed objects via an
initorinitWithContext:method - Creation and management of a main managed object context
- Automatic loading of your data model from
.xcdatamodeldfiles present in your project - Simplified of communication with remote APIs
The library provides two main classes which your managed objects should inherit from:
- RWPManagedObject which provides easier instantiation, a main context, and so on. Classes should inherit from this if they aren't loaded from an external API.
- RWPRemoteManagedObject makes a few assumptions about external APIs that make it easier to serialise API responses into objects.
